You make some great points about good practices, especially in online tutorials. I see so much horrendous code out there posted on forums by beginners and it just makes me sad. It isn't their fault (or at least not entirely).
I wrote two editions of a Learning Swift book before I burned out (they are pretty out of date since even the second edition was only written for Swift 2). I got great feedback on them but it is INCREDIBLY exhausting and complicated to present good programming practices along side practical learning. I definitely developed a new respect for text-book writers.
There is also a reason that beginning computer science classes start on the command line learning data structures and algorithms before ever diving into UI. However, I also don't think everyone needs to dive that deep to get something useful out of programming. I don't know what the solution is, but there are certainly thousands of people trying with online courses, tutorials, boot camps, universities, etc.
